At the tokyo 2020 olympics, we are seeing a different format to what were used to sew heats in the evening and finals in morning, which is strange. Normally it is the otHer way round so it is even more just a case of the race, it is not about times, just about trying to win medals. Some of the times we are seeing in the final is actually slower than what are being swum in the evening, the night before and heat switches, but that is the schedule and the format of these olympics and it is more about the race than ever. Have you managed to speak to any of the team out Here . How are they finding it, notjust any heat, i suppose, but all the Covid Restrictions . I any heat, i suppose, but all the Covid Restrictions .

I wanted to see if that was true, i heard the beds when made of carpet any village, and apparently are, they are not too uncomfortable, they are quite comfy made of cardboard.

I have i spoken to some athletes about those Cardboard Beds and they have also confirmed to me that they are quite comfortable, despite what it might look like. Can you tell us what it takes to get an olympics, the kind of Effort And Training you get through from when you are very small and probably going to the pool before and after school every day . It is relentless. Especially in swimming. I cant imagine tHere are many swimmers have come into this schemes and it did not start training every day from the age of about ten or ii this game is. It comes around once every four years, this time five. It means everything to the athletes. Especially swimming. This is the pinnacle of our sport and you do not get opportunities like this very often. A successful olympics can change your life and i think the athletes had aware of that and because of that they have put in so much hard work. Swimming is a brutal sport, that they have put in so much hard work. Swimming is a brutalsport, it is a 30 hours a week any pool sometimes. It means everything and it is a brutal training regime, but any success and rewards make it all Worth It. ,. , Worth It. Really interesting to get our Worth It.

Plans to require Football Fans to be fully vaccinated if they want to go to Premier League matches are being considered by the government. Its understood clubs in englands top flight are keen to become early adopters of proof of vaccination so they can keep full capacity crowds. Our political correspondent Helen Catt has the story. Football fans have already been part of testing ways to keep big events going when coronavirus is very much still Here. The Fa Cup final at wembley was a pilot event. And this weekend, the government has also turned to football to try to boost uptake of the vaccine among young people with a message from the england manager. I know oldies like me have had both jabs so we can crack on with our lives. But for you younger ones especially with the chance for everything to open up. Concerns about the number of younger people still unvaccinated are also thought to be a driver behind the idea for Vaccine Passports for events. The government is in talks with the Premier League to use them at matches from october. Ministers want to make things equal between all sports so its likely otHer crowds would have to do the same. Earlier this week, the Prime Minister announced that Vaccine Passports would be needed to go to nightclubs in england from The End of september. I should serve notice now that, by The End of september, when all Over 185 will have had their chance to be double jabbed, were planning to make full vaccination the condition of entry to nightclubs and otHer venues wHere large crowds gatHer. OtHer Spectator Events with crowds of over 20,000 people, such as big concerts, are also likely to face similar requirements. Mps and fans groups have already raised concerns. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, questions were raised about the role the Cheltenham Festival may have played in spreading the virus. The government and Sports Bodies are likely to be keen to make sure they can have full capacity crowds this winter without such worries. Helen catt, bbc news. Malcolm clarke is the chairman of the Football Supporters association. He told us that some Football Fans would be reassured by the measure while otHers would not be happy. I think our members are reflective of the wider society, so tHere will be some who feel that this will give them the kind of reassurance they need in order to return safely to games. Equally, tHere will be otHers who are opposed to it in principle and may even decide, as Mark Palios said, not to attend games. Our major concern really is to ensure, again as mark said, that the clubs put in place sufficient staff to enable this to happen without chaos outside the grounds and very long queues. And i think it would probably need an extra layer of checks ratHer than trying to do it at the turnstiles and that obviously needs extra resources. And we also want to see both the government and the clubs consult supporters about how this will operate in practice. Football isnt always terribly good at consulting supporters, but we want to see that at both national and club level. The Health Secretary has apologised for a poor choice of word when he said people should no longer cower from coronavirus. Sajid javid made the comment after tweeting hed made a full recovery from the virus. But he faced criticism from labour as well as some medical and familes groups who said it was insensitive to those whod suffered serious illness or lost their lives. Taxpayers in the uk will be facing the significant costs of the Coronavirus Pandemic for decades to come. Thats the warning from a group of mps. A report from the public Accounts Committee found £372 billion has already been spent, pushing Government Debt to a rate not seen since the early 1960s. Mps also criticised the decision to buy items of ppe that have gone to waste because they cant be used in hospitals. The Department Of Health says tHere are measures in place to ensure taxpayers receive value for money. Earlier, dame meg hillier, who chairs the house of commons public Accounts Committee told us how significant the financial risks are. Its not unexpected that we would be spending huge sums of money on an unprecedented pandemic, but tHere is a cost to managing that. And in the past decade, Weve Seen Cuts through the Austerity Programme because of the then governments desire to tackle some of the challenges in the public finances, and yet, thats going to be very difficult if the government takes that route. It could also raise taxation or it could borrow more, but all of these have risks and every pound spent on paying interest on borrowing is not a pound that can be spent on delivering public services, so its not a surprise that tHere will be a long term cost. And if you look at the second World War and the first World War, tHere were similar challenges then. They were the last two big, very big episodes in pushing government spending, Taxpayer Spending to very high levels. The headlines on bbc news.

Plans to require Football Fans to be fully vaccinated if they want to go to Premier League matches from october are being considered by the uk government. Mps have described as wholly inadequate the Complaints Process for women in the Armed Forces who are sexually assaulted or harassed at work. The Defence Select Committee found that 60 of female personnel had faced bullying, harassment and discrimination during their careers. The Ministry Of Defence says many improvements have been made, but admits Womens Experience Isnt yet equal to mens. Jonathan beale reports. Whats it like being a female soldier, im often asked. This is the armys latest recruitment campaign, aimed at women. Im the one stitching them up im not a miss or a mrs, im a sergeant. It suggests gender is not an issue in todays Armed Forces. But this report by mps paints a very different picture with women suffering disproportionately from bullying, harassment, discrimination and even Sexual Assault and rape. Six out of ten women in our evidence said that they dont make complaints because of fear of reprisals and repercussions. And what we are finding is that women are subsequently leaving the military before their time. Put some pressure on this for me. Women make up around I2 of the regular Armed Forces. The report highlights practical issues for them, such as not being given uniforms and Body Armour that fit. But mps say theyre gravely concerned that women are ten times more likely than men to experience sexual harassment. Youre asking for it, thats the impression you get, youre not completely blameless in all of this. Sophia, not Her real name, was an officer in the Royal Navy when she was sexually harassed and then assaulted by Her male boss. She left in 2017 after a five year career, successfully taking Her complaint to a civilian court after she felt let down by Her Chain Of Command. It was such an effort to have anyone hear me. And why do you think they didnt want to hear you . Its a boys club. They closed ranks. They wanted to make sure he was all right. They dont want it happening on their watch. Its bad press for them and it doesnt look good on their reports. Thats definitely the impression i got. The Ministry Of Defence said its made many changes to improve the experience of women in the Armed Forces. It said it profoundly regretted the experience of some. But mps want the Chain Of Command to be removed from complaints of a sexual nature and cases of rape to no longer be tried in a military court. Jonathan beale, bbc news. Three people including a nine year old boy have died after getting into difficulty in Loch Lomond. Police were called to the Area Yesterday Evening following concerns for people in the water. The child, along with a 29 year old woman and a 41 year old man were pronounced dead at the scene, and a seven year old boy is in intensive care. The deaths come 48 hours after a 16 year old boy died in a separate part of Loch Lomond after getting into difficulty in the water. Thousands of people in the Western United States, are spending the weekend in evacuation centers, as wildfires continue to burn across the region. More than 80 large wildfires in 13 states have destroyed around 1. 3 million acres in recent weeks. Our north america correspondent, peter bowes, reports. The dixie wildfire, californias biggest blaze to the north of the state, is growing rapidly. Firefighters are battling Day And Night to try to bring it under control, but its spreading with such ferocity that its making its own weatHer, creating huge clouds that are generating Lightning Strikes across the region. About a fifth of the fires perimeter has been contained, but officials say the extreme nature of the fire, along with low humidity, is hampering efforts to quell the flames. People have been evacuated from their homes in several nearby counties. Smoke from the fire is travelling far and wide and is even reaching the neighbouring state of oregon, wHere its helping firefighters put out the countrys largest blaze, known as the bootleg fire, south of portland. A layer of smoke is blocking sunlight and creating cooler conditions, making it easier for firefighters to gain ground on the blaze. But the phenomenon, known as smoke shading, is unpredictable and tHere are fears that high temperatures and wind gusts later in the weekend could fan the flames furtHer. Efforts to bring this fire under control have been furtHer complicated by an outbreak of Covid I9 among firefighters. Those whove tested positive are isolating and are said to be exhibiting mild symptoms. With a long, hot summer still ahead, these fires will challenge much of the Western United States for many weeks to come. Peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. In cities across brazil, thousands of protesters have taken to the streets for the fourth weekend in a row. Theyre calling for the Covid Vaccination Programme to be speeded up, and demanding the impeachment of president jair bolsonaro. Gail maclellan reports. Out, bolsonaro. The message in 20 states across brazil. As the Coronavirus Death Toll in the country passes half a million, protesters demand the resignation of the man they say is to blame president jair bolsonaro. Translation we allowed this person to become the president of the republic and we are seeing the consequences of that today in the absurd number of deaths due to the pandemic, due to the irresponsible way in which he handled the pandemic in brazil. The president has been famously dismissive of the Health Crisis opposing masks and social distancing measures and hes been criticised for the slow roll out of vaccines. Only I7 of the population is fully vaccinated.
